00:00- We were promised before the general election farms would be supported We were told “Food Security is National Security” So why are Farmers in the City today? #SaveOurFamilyFarms
00:00 - There is a special place in hell for people who wander off footpaths, leave gates open & cause horrendous accidents. 3 of my girls got stuck in bog in neighbouring woodland 9 people 3 tractors 5 hours 8 trees chopped down 3 distressed cows Got them home safe in the end #farm24
00:00 - Dad’s out checking the stock. He’s got a heart condition & early dementia but he drives around the farm daily, & takes the dog for a ride. His life is embedded in this landscape Sometimes he doesn’t know me but he can spot a problem with a cow at 1000 paces #farm24
- #MyTBStory The deed is done, my girls are gone 😞🐄 This story is dedicated to all our cows, our farm teams & our farm vets fighting bTB on the ground #tbfree
00:00 - Empty milk shelves? Be assured we have ample 🥛 to feed us all There are a few logistic probs such as deliveries to stores, fridge space in store, staff capacity to stock shelves Buy little & often All #British #Milk will be as fresh & healthy as ever 🇬🇧 #teamdairy #COVID19
00:00 - Huge SHOUT OUT & THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me, coaxed, prodded & challenged me at home & away. Last week I visited Buckingham Palace & collected my MBE for Services to Farming from Prince Charles. An experience like no other! #proudtoproduce #cowsontour
00:00- Alicia turned up on my yard last night asking for work experience. From the city & she wants to be a farmer 🎉 By 11 this morning she’s milked the cows with me, fed the calves & scraped the sheds 💪🏼 I love a bit of determination 🙌🏼 #WelshFarmingWeek #NextGeneration
- They missed the morning alarm call and realised they were late, very late, for milking ⏰ 🙄 🐄 🐄 #farming
00:00 - Our 200 cow dairy herd supplies milk everyday to around 4000 households It’s a real team effort with the cows & the people working together to get the job done all hours, all weathers. No one does sick days, bank holidays or other festive days We all LOVE our job 🤩 #farm24
- I’ve just wrestled this out of a cows mouth It was mixed in the winter fodder so must have been left in the field last summer Don’t be so dirty & irresponsible, take your dog mess home & bin it. If you don’t you may succeed in killing something one day #DogMess
- A Farm Victory yesterday - we passed our TB test 😅😅😅😅😃😃😃😃🐄✅ Still got to pass another one but we edge closer to safety. Stressful week for the team but we did it 👊🏼 #tbfree #teamdairy #farm24
